The Coop - Winter Park

Had a fast online search after a good local chicken sandwich and this place was recommended. Total WIN! I went for her normal chicken sandwich. The chicken was perfect; juicy, tender, with the perfect amount of crispy bread. The hint of lemon in Mayo is the secret ingredient to bring out a symphony of taste. Come back. Next time? The Nashville chicken sandwich. My wife has the balls of Benedict with waffles. She also carved about it.

This was a nice, casual place for a cheap breakfast! I really liked the Vibe counter service, it was quite unique for a place that is not fast food. I was there on Sunday morning at 8 a.m. and it wasn't busy at all. I had the caramelized French toast and it was good! My partner had the Chicken Waffle Benedict and he liked it too! Nothing to rave, but I'd come back.

The red velvet pancakes were amazing; no syrup needed. The chicken cubes (with chicken onions) were very savory. The cookies and Gravy were like no one else I ever tasted. The piece fried chicken was not fat and very tasty. The cinnamon roll had great taste, but was a bit dry, maybe because it was a corner piece. Joey V says check it out!

Ok this place is cool looking and has a southern charm theme which it definitely stick to through the restaurant. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The dessert selections are very delicious. The chicken is seasoned to perfection. The problem...? All of the food is seasoned the same way, so the chicken and potatoes and bacon taste the same. I don't want all of my food to taste the same, their should be distinct differences-flavor wise-between bacon and chicken. Also the way you get your food is a bit chaotic because servers have to search for the table you're sitting at. They might as well invest in a PA system and call your number to grab your food. Having a server go table to table asking whether or not you ordered something is annoying for them as well as the person who has to keep getting excited for food that turns out NOT to be theirs. The potential here is great however the execution could use some improvements.

I want to start this review by saying that this place is a jewel. The chicken is delicious, the potatoes above animal, and the coconut dessert we had was divine. Everything was tasty, but some were nothing to write at home. The fried Okra was okay. I love fried okra and make it any special occasion. It had grown up my favorite Sunday stack, and this dish here, while good, was not the best. It came a little cold and some pieces had no taste at all. The macaroni was nothing special. It was edible, but there was no taste except salt. We ordered a few different sauces to go with our chicken plate. The white sauce is good, but is not traditional. It is the consistency of the ranch. Honey mustard was okay. The chicken and the waffles were our favorite from the two ducks. The sweet waffle and hearty chicken paired really well together. I enjoy putting a little pepper sauce on the chicken to give it a little kick. Overall, we will be back and I will edit my assessment accordingly. We had just got there before a big rush and that could have been the problem with many of my complaints. My biggest being was that it took almost 40 minutes to get our food. I don't care to wait, but it's discouraging to see people who have ordered after you not only get their food, but eat and go before you even get your meal. Everyone was super friendly and the place is cute.
